Rise of the Planet of the Apes

[Rainey]

Sorry, I was joking!

Really looking forward to this film after reading the reviews so far.

Ok, let me explain this once and for all. Of course the papers want you to b*y them, they want to make money. But there is no mention on the tickets that you will need to show a page from a paper, now is there. Sometimes there is even more than one code for the same screening from different sources, and only one stipulated the use of a magazine page. There is no way any usher would be remotely bothered as to who would have to show the page and who wouldn't. In fact they are not bothered anyway. It always says you have to show ID as well and only very few, very select cinemas actually ask you for it. So I'd say you and everybody else can sleep easily, and I really don't want this topic cropping up over and over again. In fact, the more people show up with an additional newspaper page, the worse, as it alerts the usher unnecessarily.

I'll look out for someone with a newspaper at the next Manchester screening.

Stayed up til 2 this morning, no code... online at 8.20 on a Sunday morning and guess what, Glasgow tickets are gone! What is it with us Glaswegians? Could it be something to do with the fact that of 45 (a record?) screenings, only 2 are in Scotland....? I feel an e-mail coming on.

Have you seen the new thread stickied at the top of film discussion?
it's the 'more tickets released' thread link here http://www.fmuk.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12668

If you 'subscribe topic' you'll get email alerts if someone notices and posts when more tickets are released. Once you do get tickets and don't want the alerts anymore you can un-subscribe :)

momentous film, there was nothing not to like apart from Tom Felton's character, liked the way they linked in the old plant of the apes films into it, hope they hurry up with the sequel. Glad I got up and went despite early start. Great expect a lot of scaremongering in the media when this goes on general release along the lines of this could happen etc, etc.

Awesome film. I must say though that although we are obviously rooting for the apes, they do look vicious, bad-tempered, ugly and mean. They are just about cute as a baby, but Caesar as an 8 year old looked like a moody teenager, and it went downhill from there with this temper. Freida Pinto looks nice but gets nothing to do. James Franco is good though, and Jon Lithgow broke my heart in the Alzheimer story that hit way too close to home. What would I give for a medication that reverses the effects of dementia right now! When the mean neighbour shouted at the poor confused man for driving in his car, my hands became fists and I had a flashback to that time when that bitch shoved OH over for being in her way. There are some spectacular special effects (a huge gorilla leaping up to a helicopter for one), and two moments when the whole cinema took a deep breath and went "Oh!". Saying which those moments were would be spoilering but you'll know when you see it. Nice to see Draco Malfoy finally getting his comeuppance and all.

9/10

We got 5 trailers before the film at the Cineworld O2 btw, which took 15 minutes. First was Inbetweeners, which looked absolutely shite, then we got One Day, Crazy Stupid Love and Mr Bean in Johnny English Reborn which all looked interesting, plus Cowboys & Aliens which to be honest looked rather weird!

There was quite a queue already when we got to the cinema at 10am. The screen filled up quickly and the usher made people move up to avoid single empty seats, which prompted a_person to send me a rant by text. She was in my row a bit further down because there hadn't been two seats next to us anymore when we sat down - now there were. Watched a woman taking about 10 minutes to decide where she wanted to sit, it was almost comical. Thankfully she didn't like the seat next to me - she was massive.
